rolling regional thug thread 2012

I made a list of songs i liked this year.

http://sisilafami.tumblr.com/post/38883680333/a-list-of-rap-songs-that-probably-wouldnt-make-any

thanks for that, will be exploring

Aye, good listicle.

That Ampichino & Young Bossi release has so many jams.

the young thug song on noz's list definitely made me gasp in horror and be glad that i never subjected myself to a full tape of that guy

do/did you like this one tho?

sub-trinidad james tbh

hah, alright. you crazy

ahah

nah he's just never heard trinidad james iirc

i hadn't heard him on day 5 of The Trinidad James Era but it's been a couple months since then, i have heard him now

i mean you can't really listen to the radio w/o hearing him at this point

that's a hot song

did you just endorse "all gold everything" or am i not following this conversation correctly

yeah i think that's a good single

nothing else he's done is even remotely good but i won't deny that "all gold everything" bangs

usually when someone who can barely rap gets hot off one song there's some good production involved but i don't fuck with that beat at all

oh yeah the beat is cool

i think it's pretty dope... not an amazing beat but serviceable. that little raking noise is kinda cool. i actually think his rapping on that song are a big reason why the song works... i mean it's kinda crazy that dude has the hottest song in rap and the entire song is basically one long verse where he literally doesn't even rhyme. it's very post-lil b so i understand that it doesn't really crossover with the ship aesthetic.

i suppose it's too much to ask at this point that we not be little venn diagrams of taste profiles

although i do agree that it's interesting anytime a radio hit departs from the 16 bars/hook/16 bars/hook standard, seems to be happening more and more now

I don't really like TJ as a rapper, but the song works and the beat is good.

well i mean i know your tastes pretty well i think i wasn't surprised that you weren't feeling it, is all i'm saying

could assume that about probably 99% of music posted to this thread tho

well idk... i thought ship might like young thug or rich kidz or whatever

bingo

i actually like bars mor than val venis as well

'keep in touch' is my shit btw honestly surprised ship doesnt like it its a pretty trad composition imo

my fav chance the rapper song is 'yolo'

the obviousness of the sample on 'juke juke' kept me from loving it altho i like what they do w/ the juke parts

i like some Rich Kidz songs, just got a bit much over the course of a whole tape imo. that one guy's voice especially.

stuff like Young Thug basically reminds me of when i used to listen to 150 Baltimore mixtapes a year and what the bottom 5% of that sounded like

did you like 'foreign' by him any more or are you not going on the whole thing

hadn't heard that one, better than the others i guess. i realize that "sounds like lil wayne" is a genre in 2012 but if you can't even rise to the standards of 2012 lil wayne then kill yourself imo.

damn the cutesy gif's. It's outsiders like yourself in hipster media that get a hard on by over analyzing Black music.

noz gonna drag his feet the whole way on the keef thing

not that u guys were expecting me to respond any other way. but the soulja boy comparison suggests a level of accidental & coincidence where i'm hearing more intent & personality but ymmv

but 'ineptitude,' really

the other way the soulja comparison doesn't work is that it was the song that went viral, not the artist. ppl liked the dance & the video & werent wrapped up in soulja boy as a person iirc? i mean, we were all around when it hit but i don't recall the same level of connection to who soulja boy was

uhhh isn't rapradar like a haven for middlebrow aftermath bullshit rap or am i missing something completely
